My Neighbor is Using my Gated Yard as her Dog’s Toilet, Is This Trespassing?
My yard is fenced with entrance gates at the front and back of the property. I have found during recent weeks that a neighbor has been opening the front gate where the sidewalk is and entering my yard to allow her dog to use lawn and sometimes that side of the house as its personal toilet.
